Half life wastes before it goes It's funny how your bee sting touch never leaves me whole It's not enough to stay here almost trying You keep your last laugh watch this dying It's just half time vertigo And if you want an answer I don't know If you had completed me Don't think I'd be pleased with you Don't think I'd compete with you With half of me to take Half life nothing I'd call home It's lucky how these phantom limb bee stings never show It's not enough to leave this falling kindly You burn my star down twice as brightly It's just your half light undertow But if you need forgiveness I don't know Half light breaks with nothing wrong Just a corner of my bed where you don't belong It's kind of you to notice no one's dying You choked your last laugh almost crying It's just your half life long to know And if you need a reason so it goes
It takes too much to please me Attached but no real feeling High fives and corporate anthems Nothing comes to mind
Kitemarked for true low standards Where more wants all and no less Just change with no real progress Nothing comes to mind I want higher But nothing comes to mind
Give me a low five I can't help myself I'm a low five downsize no one else Do you love yourself?
Altered states and egos Potential less than zero Found God in San Diego Nothing comes to mind
I half expect to find myself In full control of nothing else Lost hope but learnt to hopeless Nothing comes to mind I want higher But nothing comes to mind
Strike you down give me everything you've got Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not Count the questions on one hand you don't ask me what I planned Strike me down should have asked me what went wrong Strike me down should have stayed away too long
Strike me down give it everything you've got Chance me now I'll be everything I'm not Hope's the child of what luck brings Points the faith in higher things Ask me now fire at everything at once Strike me down take it any way you want
Strike me down better left it all unknown Shout me down should have left it all alone Wash the questions off my hands I'm the fate in no one's plans Strike me down give it everything you've got Strike me down I'll be everything I'm not
I know you know my head's not in this now Nothing you could keep so keep me down Like the stones beneath the water that you walk on to be taller The hands you stuck together when you prayed you'd wait forever Just another fragile angel heart Falling down on lead wings torn apart
The words beneath my skin The ink that put you in Destroying all the things you left around Earthbound coming down
So what you have the nerve to call a friend Is starved of all the sense to make amends I'm the glass you break to touch but you never want me much Like the view across the water from the shoes and two feet smaller I know it doesn't pay to be this hurt Falling off the morning getting worse
i aim to bug you on your vacancy never complicate but you talk it cheap you sense but you don't know too lame to catch a cold
slowly the signs will read you dumb surely the times will feel you numb i know the pains you took to show me and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking
i hate to bug you on your certainty never compromise - you're just always weak you care but you don't show too proud to catch the flow
under all the truth and facts there's faith enough if you can't live on love alone it isn't love
slowly the signs will read you dumb surely the times will feel you numb i know the depths you sunk to show me i want the life the world still owes me and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking answer - stamp me out
and i'd love to break your fall but no-ones asking me answer - stamp me out
slowly the signs will read you dumb surely the times will feel you numb i know the pains you took to show me you said it hurts your head to know me and i'm nothing but your superbug for asking answer - stamp me out
we're always too always in doubt works on me she's nowhere she mainlines helps me out now i can speak was heard not seen wasted nothings free was black was bruised fucked up twenty two
i'm amazed you eat you sleep you function at all 'cos my aims so weak i'd fail to get into my arm was made the first to laugh tried but the tribute short changed kidness flowers and silence was made the first to laugh charmed but the weather broke me sober i've never been colder
seen braver seemed braver since then but never been no favours no saviours no sense it's not in me so nothing's free ghostdrunk out of reach so action this cared less never missed and you preach you teach did i 'learn you' nothing at all i'm too dumb to see but you stooped for someone this small
you'll always be closing me down denied me remind me i'm sold out just skin and teeth left black and bruised fucked up nothing new was heard not seen wasted so nothing's free
pretty row with it cute sushi lunches nineteen steps from out under your feet can't eat won't eat have have not me can't eat won't eat cute sushi lunches
pretty down on this cold feel excuses one lane talk where art and life don't meet can't see won't see have have not me hate like a child hates his hair cut can't eat won't eat cute sushi lunches
different ways of counting fingers running through your hair ten to twenty lifelines if you doubt how this compares there's fear enough to share a fear of loathing so easy how you bare the trace of me without you there
so fall like the snow too much too slow so fragile to say hanging over everyday a breeze with contempt to shame the others a story's so thin to cater all your lovers
count me out your standards shadow trade in competence ten to twenty answers shouting down on confidence too easy not to share too vain for secret there's fear enough in there a taste of need in someones cure
I see you couldn't catch your breath Believe me it's all that it must be You see I never said my piece If only you left it that easy Fractured we have been since sometime sixteen Failure was on me but your ideals bore me
Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder? Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under? So colored by you but your monkey messed it up Uncovered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough You're like scissors in my coat You're like splinters in my cup
I know you couldn't care me less Keep hoping it's all only token You know I never had my say If only you'd keep it that open Loser may have been but it's lost on me Splintered I will be when your peace breaks cheap Does it take the fireworks to make you look in wonder? Would you give reaction to the cause I'm under? Three color blind you but your monkey messed it up Surrendered by you your monkey's longwhile had enough You're like scissors in my coat You're like splinters in my cup
Got answers for everyone, endless excuses Not habit for anyone, 'cause I'm trying to break your click-track heart Seen a vision of perfect grace, airbrushed and lifeless All contempt and aftertaste, it's like I'm waiting for the scars to heal
You're so loretta young silks, fashioning your self escape You're so loretta young silks, trading on your super waif All style before content, using me as bait You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate
Soft focus for full appeal, pictured as flawless No context for self esteem, I'd be pushed to give your love on that As far as the eye can see: too much perfection Pure substance for wannabes, keeps you beating to a click-track heart
You're so loretta young silks, fashioning your self escape You're so loretta young silks, trading on your super waif All style before content, using me as bait You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate
You're so loretta young silks, swapping your love for hate (You're so Loretta young silks,) swapping your love for hate (You're so Loretta young silks,) swapping your love for hate
Take me down, 6 underground, The ground beneath your feet, Laid out low, nothing to go Nowhere a way to meet I've got a head full of drought, Down here, so faroff losing out Round here,
Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace
Calm me down, bring it round Too way high off your street I can see like nothing else In me you're better than I wannabe Don't think 'cos I understand, I care, don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends,
Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace
Talk me down, safe and sound Too strung up to sleep Wear me out, scream and shout Swear my time's never cheap I fake my life like I've lived Too much, I take whatever you're given Not enough,
Overground, watch this space, I'm open to falling from grace
You walked all over, in your blunderstones In your own road movie, with your one armed man Gonna make it to the problem page Trouble-shoot your life Gonna make it to the problem page Need some time and space
Just to find yourself I hope you find yourself In a low place like home Low place like home
You talked it over from your bedroom throne Making sense of nothing, like your one armed man, Read your future in the magazine, search your stars for clues Read your future in the magazine, tells you what to lose
Just to find yourself I hope you find yourself In a low place like home Low place like home
You fall all over, in your small town heels Catching hold of nothing, like your one armed man, Treat your life like a tragedy, self-inflict abuse Treat your life like a tragedy, precious else to choose Crucify yourself, I hope you find yourself
Phone me and I'll hang up Sick and tired of being bubble gum chewed up Dark lane, bleak house shrinking rose, You're over and out Tie a cherry bootstring, put your candy teeth in Choking on a sweetheart, hang up, hang up, hang up
Go on girls - solo, Go on girls - take a chance, Go on girls - trust it, Go on girls - the truth is ...
Cut your hair wear a chip on your shoulder Get ahead, get laid, get it over Cheap show, back seat martyr's pose, you're over and out I'm checking out of my senses, buying best defences Putting on the trousers, hang up, hang up, hang up
Go on girls - solo, Go on girls - take a chance, Go on girls - trust it, Go on girls - the truth is ... So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ...
You want the day to fit to a soundtrack Get a story get a life and get back You've got nothing to shout about You're over and out
I'm checking out of my senses, Buying best defences Fired up on free-will, hang up, hang up, hang up
Go on girls - solo, Go on girls - take a chance, Go on girls - trust it, Go on girls - the truth is ... So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ... So so ... Single ... So low ... The truth is ...

You can keep breathing, I only fall when you are near me Incomplete, I only talk when you can hear me, Keep dreaming can't wake up until I'm sleeping, Lost on me, Close to something I'll never be
Close to something I'll never be
If I just stay here, close my eyes can you still see me ? Obsolete, very nearly something to see Still see me, I can't wake up for sleeping Incomplete, very nearly something to be
Very nearly something to be
You can keep trying, drown in sleep to be flying See for Miles, something that I wanted to be I can't wake this dream, prototype ends up has been Incomplete, the consequence of something to be
I'm everyone - I feel used, I'm everyone - I need you, I'm everyone - hang your label on me, I'm everyone - Paint it black and white and easy, I'm everyone - Sticks in me, I'm everyone - Sticks with me, I want perfection - I'm real need, I've seen attention - See through me, Call on me - Spin spin sugar Crawl on me - Spin spin sugar Stinks on me - Spin spin sugar Twists for me - Spin spin sugar
I've seen attention - See through me, I want perfection - I'm real need, I'm everyone - Sticks in me, I'm everyone - Sticks with me, Call on me - Spin spin sugar Crawl on me - Spin spin sugar Stinks on me - Spin spin sugar Twists for me - Spin spin sugar
